Music like that serves a social function. It's not worthless; it just happens to serve their needs and interests. Mabye I care about music that's "objectively good," but that's not a consideration for everyone. Perceived quality is often just a matter of taste.
Now, I might be wrong, and it might be possible to criticize certain music without criticizing someone's taste, but I don't think dissing certain bands is worth my time.
